Default Switch locations in the a/c console area

Has anyone blocked off their 4 ac ducts in their console bezel and put in guages or switches? Basically, I have 4 things I want in there. Line Lock, Nitrous purge, Nitrous activation and bottle heater.

I quickly photoshopped a basic idea I had.(yeah, I suck at it but I just got back from wrist surgery so you'll have to accept it)



Anybody have anything close to this, or if you've done it, anything special I need to do there. I plan on somehow blocking off the ac duct in that area so as to not get the electrical connectors moist and stuff.

That's not too ricey for ya is it Rick? Basically, I'd use toggle switches for the activation and bottle heater and the push button controls (probably) for the line lock and purge.

I have found some pretty neat switches too.
Here's a pic of a possible activation switch.

And I already have the button for the line lock that came with the kit.
